My Way I am the most important being in my life
I live for myself
If you got it flaunt it
I am free to do whatever I want
I am free to live any way I want
I am not accountable to anyone
Freedom = (imaginary) absence of boundaries

Be thankful Ibrahim 14: 7.And (remember) when your Rabb
proclaimed: "If you give thanks, I will give you more(of My Blessings), but if you are thankless, verily!
My Punishment is indeed severe.
Being thankful includes returning to society whatwe have taken from it, to become what we have
become. To build for a day we may not see becausesomeone built for us, what they did not see.
Hadith: The one who doesnt thank the people
has not thanked Allah

Remember your Accountability Sajda 32:11. Say: "The angel of death, who is set
over you, will take your souls, then you shall be
brought to your Lord.12.And if you only could seewhen the Mujrimun (criminals, sinners) shall hangtheir heads before their Lord (saying): "Our Lord!We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to
the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily!We now believe with certainty."
Reality does not change because we wont believe

ConclusionWe believe that Allah knows best what He
created and knows what is best for it.
We accept the Way of Being that Allah chose forus and sent the Anbiya to teach us.
As a result we look forward to a beautiful way oflife in this world and the reward of Jannah in the
next.
Because to choose to please Allah
is also a choice
